Walking in Beijing
Speaking of things Chinese...
The government of China has published A General Textbook on Civility and Propriety, which is intended to teach proper decorum to the citizens in preparation for the 2008 Olympics.
These tidbits from the handbook made my day. (I copied them from a local newspaper.)
* "When you walk, raise your head and keep the point of gravity slightly in front."
* "After you wash your hands, don't shake them while walking away from the toilet."
* "While at work, only send out work-related emails."
Let's visit Beijing in '08 for a live demo of walking with "the point of gravity slightly in front"! :)
